The King George VI Memorial Park offers walkers a peaceful environment they can relax and unwind in. As well as boasting a huge range of trees and plants, including holm oaks, a fine beech tree, mulberries, ash, lime, sycamores and horse chestnuts, the park is home to one of the areas most ethereal landmarks - the Italianate Greenhouse. This Grade II listed building dates from the early nineteenth century and closely resembles the cutting edge greenhouse designs of Sir George Mackenzie of Edinburgh and also John Claudius Loudon (1783-1843). So why is it called Italian? Sir Moses Montefiore, then the owner of East Cliff Lodge, planted a small formal garden outside the front entrance of the greenhouse, complete with an ornate fountain, which he had imported from Italy. The project was so successful that the whole area soon became known as ‘The Italian Garden’ with the ‘Italian Greenhouse’. 8 | explore kent explore kent | 9 Viking Bay If Broadstairs is the “Jewel in Thanet’s crown”, really shouldn’t be missed.

  • THE THANET SEAPORTS, 1650-1750 by JOHN H
    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 66 1953 THE THANET SEAPORTS, 1650-1750 By JOHN H. ANDBEWS NEITHER Margate, Broadstairs nor Ramsgate was recognized as a fully-fledged port by the Customs Commissioners during the period covered by this article. Waiters and Searchers of the Customs Service were stationed at all three ports to supervise the loading and discharg- • ing of goods; but there were no legal quays for the transaction of foreign trade, and no cargo could be handled in Thanet without docu- ments obtained from the Customs Collector at Sandwich.1 In 1731 the inhabitants of Margate complained of the inconveniences arising from this position, but without success.2 Certainly their complaint had some foundation, for Margate had a thriving trade, and in the past several smaller Kentish ports, such as Hythe and Folkestone, had enjoyed greater privileges. For the historian the most serious conse- quence of this dependent status is the almost complete absence of commercial statistics for the Thanet ports. Their trade and shipping were recorded with those of the port of Sandwich, and it is a difficult and often an impossible task to distinguish between the different ports. Thus T. S. Willan, in his English Coasting Trade, 1600-1750, treats the Sandwich Port Books as if they related only to the port of Sandwich, and makes no mention of Thanet, although he discusses quite insigni- ficant ports like Folkestone, Hythe and Romney. THE HAKBOURS AND SHIPS OF THANET The harbours of Margate, Broadstairs and Ramsgate were all of the- same type : a single curved pier excluding winds and waves from the most dangerous direction, the north-east.

  • The Rochester Grammar School 2018 Alumni Newsletter Welcome to the 2018 RGS Alumni Association Newsletter!
    The Rochester Grammar School 2018 Alumni Newsletter Welcome to the 2018 RGS Alumni Association Newsletter! You’ll notice that the newsletter has received another facelift this year, and we have been delighted to work with the School, and most notably a current student, to bring you this year’s news from the School and the Alumni Association members. Thank you to those of you who have kept in touch this year; we are always delighted to hear from you, and enjoy reading news from alumni and your associates. As always, we warmly invite all of our members and friends of the school to join us for the AGM and Annual Lunch on Saturday 17th November 2018 to see friends, share memories and see the school. It is always wonderful to see old friends and classmates reconnect and to hear about and see our school as it is today. By popular request we have looked into a different and cheaper format for our 2018 Alumni Lunch. Part of the request was to be able to spend more time chatting during lunch. As a result we are experimenting with a buffet lunch (instead of a sit down, catered lunch) which will be cheaper and should allow people to mingle and chat. A booking form for the lunch can be found at the end of this newsletter or attached to this email. You can print or copy as many as you like, so why not pass one to a friend? A membership form is also included so that you can encourage friends from school days to join us and stay in touch all year round.
